Two days ago
I with one of my students, went for evening walk. Avoiding the crowd of the
town we took a path that heads towards the high way existing as a boundary of
our town. After walking more than 1 Km through that path we reached the High
way. Due to jam all the trucks and Lorries were standing in one side of the
road and in another side vehicles were passing by, overall the road was not
very noisy.
We walked
long 3 Km and then took the returning path and reached near my home. We both
enjoyed the walk; the weather was very pleasant, as the winter is about to end
so the wind blowing was neither too cool nor too hot. We both were silent
almost for 80% of the walk, actually until I start to talk my student always
remains silent as he knows my nature.
When we were
about to enter home, my student said
---Sir, I
must say that today’s journey was very pleasant, so nice weather and the nature
was looking so good. But it’s also true that the time we have spent together can’t
be regain, once it’s past then its lost forever. We will never be able to live
this moment again. Am I right sir?
I was
silent, that’s why he asked again
--- Please
Sir, say something.
I said him
that I will share my opinion later.
Next day
evening I asked my student to go for evening walk, he agreed and we started our
journey, I took the same path and reached the High way and came back home
walking through the same path that we availed yesterday, before entering my
home I asked him
---you were
saying that we can’t live that moment again but today we have lived that
moment.
He said that
the date is different.
That’s the
word ‘Date’ irritates me a lot. I shared my thought with him, here it is---
Don’t focus
on CALENDAR and CLOCK; focus on the feelings
of your heart, the peace of your mind. Yesterday you were
saying that “today’s journey was very pleasant” which reveals that you enjoyed
it a lot, you enjoyed the walk and the surroundings, that’s why I took the same
path to show you that you can live it again. Am I right? Did not you enjoy
today just like yesterday? Did not you feel the same pleasure today that you
felt yesterday?
He agreed
with me.
“Time”---that’s
the word I hate and love simultaneously. Actually we are so focused on ‘Time’
that in most of the cases we forget to concentrate on our feelings, our peace
and on our mental satisfaction. In most of the cases after spending a good time
we start to regret that it’s past now, but we never think that “I will enjoy
doing these same things again”, we are so busy to keep pace with time that we
always count “how much time has passed” but never muse the beautiful time we
have lived---because we don’t have Time to muse!!!!!, I personally believe that
if you have strong will-power, extreme desire, love and strength of mind then
you can live any moment again and again.
For some
time being forget about ‘Time’, forget about the date, clock and so your age also
and concentrate on your inner mind, on your thoughts, feelings and desires,
then you will realize that----It’s all YOUR time.
Friends, I
know some of you will be agree with me and some will not, whatever your opinion
is, feel free to make comment. I will eagerly wait for your words.
To Be Continued...
